The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also use ed by the air forces of several other nations. -Wikipedia-Trim for trim, VTOL for flaps. I have been working hours on redesigning the Jundroo Wasp, don't forget to upvote.

Thanks @Sauce
Flies very nicely as well, very maneuverable, must be the incidence on the wings
Great but very finicky
Nice work!
@LukeDaDuke no problem
@RealQcan thank you
Very very nice!
@Axelrod04 thank you
This thing is awesome!!! I landed and took off 14 times without landing gear!!! Props to LukeDaDuke!
Nice design!
@LukeDaDuke I used this one.
@MaximusTheMinimus I recomend using this version for the HARV, that one you have is outdated and doesnt have full elevator control
Scaled rotators are already on the engine nozzles. I believe it used 3D Vectoring, btw.
Okay. It's right here
@LukeDaDuke if you can help with the tail I'd appreciate it!
@LukeDaDuke okay. Link incoming.
@LukeDaDuke AG1 for tvc
@MaximusTheMinimus send me the link, I love making TVC (Thrust vectoring control) on aircraft I added TVC to this
@LukeDaDuke On the HARV, I can't get the vectoring, but I substituted with setting the CoM back. I might upload later... If I can get the stabilizers to work...
@ChiChiWerx thank you
Well, it really captures the Hornet's "stance"...great work on the gear, not overly complex, but just enough that it looks right. Nice rendition of a very common build, but better than 99% of the other ones out there.
@LukeDaDuke Wow!
@Sauce @MaximusTheMinimus
@BogdanX the primary wings are at a 3° angle, just trim down about half way, it's supposed to be like that.
